You cannot play Fortnite on both the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4, and gamers are furious

Nintendo

• The world's most popular video game, "Fortnite: Battle Royale," is officially coming to the Nintendo Switch, with cross-platform play with players using iOS, Mac, Windows PC and Xbox One.
• PlayStation 4 owners, however, will not be able to play online with Switch players, and are restricted from bringing their Fortnite progress and Battle Passes between the two consoles.

Nintendo announced at E3 on Tuesday that the world's favorite video game, "Fortnite: Battle Royale" will finally be available on the Nintendo Switch starting today. However, there are a few setbacks for the game's cross-console compatibility, particularly with the PlayStation 4, that have already inspired backlash from many gamers.

First, the Switch version of the game will support cross-platform play with players using iOS, Mac, Windows PC and Xbox One, but not PlayStation 4, meaning a Switch user will not be able to play Fortnite online with a Play Station 4 user. Although, this is what we've come to expect from Sony, who hasn't allowed any cross-play with the PlayStation 4 in the past. See the rest of the story at Business Insider
